International Waltz - Beginner's Technique Manual

Waltz
Style: International (English) Style

Category: Modern/Standard Ballroom
Rhythm: 3/4 time
Tempo: 30 Bars per minute (Competition)
29-34 Bars per minute (Social)
When people hear the phrase 'Ballroom Dance' they invariably think
of the Waltz.
Waltz is THE fundamental Ballroom dance. Originating hundreds of
years ago in Bavarian Europe, the original waltz had a much faster tempo
and was more similar to our modern 'Viennese Waltz'. The dance
experienced significant opposition when it was popularized across Europe.
The idea of a man holding a woman hip to hip and cavorting about seemed
somehow improper.
This modern 'Slow Waltz' is derived from an American version of the
Waltz called 'The Boston' which was characterized by the slow tempo, long
flowing steps, and the closed position which made our slow waltz what it is
today.
A strong foundation in Waltz is the basis of understanding
International Standard and American Smooth dances. Most figures in other
dances sux as foxtrot are merely steps from Waltz danced to a different
Rhythm.
What distinguishes Waltz as Waltz then is the character, which has
been described as 'being in love- forever'.
